tzikehNo, this isn't a joke. Just because he's a liberal, eggheaded, New England Governor whose campaign is called "Dean for America" and he's married to a medical doctor doesn't mean he can't also be real.
Dean for America is the website of Vermont Governor Howard Dean, who is in the running to be the Democratic nominee for the Presidential election of 2004.
He appears to be the only Dem running against Bush, and not alongside him. He is certainly the only one of the hopefuls who didn't close ranks behind the President and agree not to disagree with him on the war.
There are Howard Dean meet-ups happening on April 2nd in cities all over the United States.
Read his speeches.
View his stands on the major issues of today.
This is the man who, as his re-election day loomed, signed Civil Unions into law in Vermont while 60% of the population of the state was against it. He was still re-elected.
We all say things like "Yeah, but he'll never win." And he may not. But he surely won't if we don't do something to help.

Date: 2003-03-28 08:35 am (UTC)I posted a startlingly similar (if less complete) entry about Dean at the start of February when I first heard about him, because...yes...I can't think of another "maybe" who hasn't already annoyed me by being virtually indistinguishable from a Bush drone. Yes, yes, I understand that a sitting politician (especially one currently serving on the national level in the house or senate) has pressures to conform beyond what Dean has, but you know what? I just don't care.
BTW, could you write to me at - beth-h at mrks dot org - and give me Terri's email addy? She and I were talking last night and I completely forgot to find out how to reach her.
